		</div><p>About 400 tourists who were stranded on a mountainside when a strong earthquake hit Taiwan have descended safely, as the island on Monday repaired damage caused by the quake.</p>
<p>The 6.8 magnitude quake hit the island on Sunday afternoon, temporarily trapping four people inside a levelled three-story building, knocking a train from its tracks and damaging a bridge. A worker in a cement factory was killed.</p>
<p>The quake was centred in eastern Hualien county, but was felt throughout Taiwan.</p>
<p>Smaller aftershocks continued to hit the island on Sunday night into Monday morning, although none was as severe.</p>
<p>The stranded tourists descended from the mountain throughout the night, with the last 90 making it down on Monday, local media reported.</p>
<p>Taiwan’s transportation minister visited a train station in Hualien county and said parts of the tracks that buckled during the quake would take up to a month to repair.</p>
<p>Taiwan, which sits on a seismologically active arc known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, is frequently hit by earthquakes.</p>
<p>The self-governing island lies 160km (100 miles) off the coast of mainland China.</p>
